In the 80s there was a plan to roll out fiber optic throughout the country. But media mogul Leo Kirch lobbied for normal cable connections because he wanted his cable network TV to take off. Chancellor Helmut Kohl, his buddy, of course did what he was asked to.
So that today we could have fiber nationwide, but thanks to lobbying we don't. Thanks to Helmut Kohl and Leo Kirch.
